Democrats rely on the ignorance of the people to not know the difference between a fully automatic assault rifle and an "assault weapon" (a made-up term meaning "the gun looks mean").

They can also take it a step further and any gun that's semi-auto could be classified as an assault type weapon. Doesn't matter if its a .22, shotgun,handgun, rifle or rubber band gun. They tried passing that in the first Brady Bill.

Thats one of the reasons they limited the number of rounds in clips or tubes.
